You're capturing well this scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the spectacle that friars and nuns are entering to the parish church. It's interesting that they are wearing black/long clothes and the nun has attached the white scarf to the head, too. And, it's a tasteful building for post office in behind.
